It was down pouring and my dealer asked me if I was sure I wanted to pick it up today... Ummm, yes I think I do! I ran it about an hour through the rain and this bad boy is awesome!
Sorry about the low quality pic, it was pretty late by the time I got home.
Nice dude! I think I put about 20-30 on mine... I will admit, my ass was hurting pretty bad by the end of the trip. Also, I had the honor of riding through the rain FREEZING... I actually had to pull over a couple times. Did you get the warrantee? I ended up getting it since it cost more to buy it later and you get 60 days to drop without a penalty.
I had to... It was that or wait another day 2 days! It wasn't that bad either, the only annoying thing was not being able to blow past the porsche next to me because I'm breaking it in...
You do realize you bought a 250cc with 24hp, right? Considering that the CBR250R has the same power to weight ratio as a Toyota Prius, I would put my money on the Porsche. LOL!
true story: i love the back, its absolutely beautiful but that pipe has to go!!! i hate the silver on the all black bike, i'd rather it be black... but that will come in time
The muffler is pretty ridiculous, I liked the idea I saw of sanding and painting it black but I wonder if that would do anything to the warranty? The sound isn't nearly as bad as that youtube video but I still will be buying a new muffler the first chance I get/see a quality one.
Maybe they think no one will want to ride yet anything? I think the more popular riding states (ie Florida and Cali) got them first because they have strong sales year round. The place I bought mine from was huge!
BTW, Honda has a promo 1.99% financing if your credit is good enough... I'm going to end up paying only $170 interest over three years! Make sure to apply for that when you are at your dealer.
yessir! the 1.99 was a huge win... and honda is stern, having what they call "super approved" status is a good feeling!
my dealer is getting 5 bikes from a WV dealer who hasnt taken deposits yet, they're scooping them up near MSRP since they have deposits well over MSRP right now
First off, I would be very surprised to actually SEE someone take a manual porsche 0-60 in the time they "claim" it can go... Plus most anyone pretentious enough to actually own a porsche probably doesn't actually race it, and a bike's clutch is WAY easier to operate. If you put a rich douche against a high torque 250cc bike like the CBR with a skilled rider, I wouldn't be surprised to see the bike to be the first one to hit 30-40 mph.
If the guy in the Porsche doesn't know you're racing, launching your CBR250 as soon as the light change Will likely get you to 40 first, maybe 50 or 60.
My dealer in PA got one red non-ABS in & had it on display for all to see today.
Did you order the ABS? I'm curious to know how well that extra $500 will hold up in resale value. I got the warranty and I'm wondering the same thing with that as well... I imagine if I ever want to sell, having a warranty would really increase resale.
I am in Illinois. My dealer says May 9th. I put money down. I will not buy a warranty. I will not get to have ABS.
I fully intend to sell it or trade it back for a 2012 version next year with ABS and the TRI-Color paint scheme which is supposed to be next year. (fingers crossed)
This way I get to ride the whole season both years and not have to wait for ABS this June. Next year I will go for a warranty.
If the paint scheme I want is not offered next year I will wait another year to sell or trade in.
It's not like this is really an expensive bike when looking at it from a new perspective, especially with 1.99% financing.
